Improvement of newborn screening using a fuzzy inference system

作者:

Highlights:

• Newborn screening plans are a routine for newborn care.

• We present a fuzzy inference system to support newborn screening.

• It screens for 46 inborn errors of metabolism and takes as input up to 42 analytes.

• It has been tested with two different types of samples from three distinct sources.

• High accuracy on diagnosis is obtained in 98.7% less time than laboratory personnel.
